Give Tabata a try 3 times a week if you have the time for a few months: It's supposed to increase anaerobic and aerobic capacity, and a firefighter replaced his norma workout for a few month of these and sailed his yearly physical, which obviously included a lot of running.
Tabata:
Jog 5 mins (or enough to warm body and raise heart rate)
20 sec sprint...10 sec rest (active rest as in walk)
20 sec sprint...10 sec rest
20 sec sprint...10 sec rest
20 sec sprint...10 sec rest
5 minutes jog cooldown
Finish.
Takes 15 minutes in total, but be warned it's only for the extremely fit
